The Kundalini Target

The Kundalini Target is the debut solo album from Ocean Colour Scene member and Paul Weller collaborator Steve Cradock released in February 2009.[1] The album was recorded by Cradock at Paul Weller's Black Barn recording studio in Surrey[2] with Cradock playing most of the instrumentation on the album [3] with contributions from Paul Weller,[4] backing vocals from Cradock's wife Sally[5] together with additional production by former Talk Talk Bass player Paul Webb.[6] Steve Cradock recently described the genesis of the album as thus: It started with me trying to write a song for my two kids. I wanted to write something that wasn’t too sweet or saccharine and I think I managed that. The album just kind of grew from there[5] The art work was designed by Sally Cradock who also runs the record label and Kundalini Music
